If not, it won't work.

(rumble)

And it was ned long ago, that anyone has asked. - Who?

Who asked?

The old Zeiserer asked for the Hannes.

The Zeiserer Hannes.

You want to give that son of a bitch? give your daughter to?

The gas station.

Don't you ever want her? - Now is good.

You're interfering too much, Badner.

You don't have to do this. I'll find another way.

He must not marry you.

Surely not with Hannes. (moo)

Why the Hannes?

(They laugh.)

I was riding my motorcycle. tilted.

The front wheel is gone.

(Polter)

Gregor ...

I need to know now if you. take over the workshop or not.

You know that.

(He coughs.)

(Blow your nose)

But nothing is fixed about it.

Why is it suddenly so urgent?

A company from the city

Would have made me a good offer.

It's not a stupid idea to add to the garage. adding a gas station.

Where the federal highway will soon. should be finished.

The surveyors will soon be ready, It can't be long now.

If I were younger, I would do it myself! - This is my idea!

They offer a good price.

I don't know how to do this. So in a hurry.

Think about it.

And the ones in town I can already. stall a little longer.

Thank you.

The Heiminger wants his money. - Yes.

Otherwise he sells the workshop. to who in town.

You're just saying that now?

(He groans.)

We can ned change it.

Unless I get married.

Have you thought about what that would be like. if we left here?

How, leave?

Far away.

Where no one knows us.

And where to?

Canada.

(snarky:) Canada. - That would be something!

You and me.

Canada, and open a gas station there. open up.

We have the same last name, after all.

They believe, that we are married.

You're serious, aren't you?

Ah yes.

You want to leave here.

Leaving the father alone, the farm ...

You can't really want that.

That's not possible. - Yes, and it doesn't work like that either.

Where is the Dirndl?

The now creates at the Zeiserer.

(Rooster crows.)

(He mutters a prayer under his breath.)

Father? I'm going into town tomorrow.

Father.

The Heiminger said,.

When I'm in town. the mechanic course

and make a degree, then ...

I can get a loan.

(Tense music with soft sounds in between)

(Tense music)

Anna, what's wrong?

You have to come with me.

They beat up Werner.

The doctor was with him, but he won't say who it was.

Badnerin, I have to go with Anna. - Yeah yeah, it's good.

The doctor was going to call the police.

They can do nothing, as long as Werner says nothing.

You were at the feast together, Maybe he'll tell you.

(Door opens.)

(Heavy breathing)

(pub backdrop)

(slamming doors)

You are such a piece of shit.

Was it you or your critters?

Are you out of your fucking mind,? Bacherin?

The Werner will tell me.

And then I'll make you go to jail for it.

I didn't do it. - Ah, who'd believe it.

He's a jerk, But it wasn't me.

You or your critters, You son of a bitch! - Ho, ho, ho.

Just wait, until the Gregor is back.

(babble of voices)

I have nothing to do with it!

(Quiet conversations)

(Children's voices from outside)

Should I go?

(gruff:) Stay.

You have something to make up for.

I want to apologize to you.

I didn't take care of you at the party Paying attention, I'm sorry.

I hope you don't think I'm. for a coward.

Nobody has to watch me after all.

You see what happens, When someone tries to do that,.

Have you seen the stupid face of Hannes seen,

When the Gregor gave him. put one on him?

(Night chirping)

(She takes a deep breath.)

(Wooden creak)

(Quiet conversation, duck clucking, Traffic noise)

(horns, tires squealing)

Maria, I ... - Maria!

Shit.

What is it?

I wanted to get medicine for the Werner.

When will the Gregor come back?

It depends, How it goes with the mechanics course.

Don't worry about it, that you are always with Werner

and the Gregor knows nothing about it?

What do you mean now?

The Werner and you.

Are you a couple now?

People talk because you were together at. Fest and you care so much.

Ha yeah, you can tell me.

I have to go, Anna.

(dog barking)

(gently:) What about you?

Without Gregor, it's not, as it should be.

Your father?

Who thinks it's my fault, that the Gregor has gone.

Five weeks he's been gone now.

(Children's voices playing from outside)

Does it hurt badly?

(Clatter of cutlery from the next room)

That was ned the Russians.

We have ...

Villages burned to the ground.

Have ... Shot people.

Have rolled over it with tanks.

Cleanup.

I couldn't take it, I took off,

Then they got me. Our own.

Ripped off my uniform.

Fear of the enemy.

Then they shot me.

Just nobody noticed, that I was still alive.

The next day, there ...

Russian peasants found me

and hid me for five months.

Is that why you don't want to fight?

I know until today ned,

Why they didn't let me. let me die.

With what we did to them.

I swore then,

that I never raise my hand again. against anyone.

(Soft music)

Why didn't you ever tell me this?

Nobody wants to know.

My father doesn't want to know.

My father was in the Gulag.

When he came back, then he was a different person.

My mother put up with him. never put up with him and left.

(Desperate sound)

(He groans.)

Pff.

It's just better, you stay alone.

(Birdsong)

(Loud mooing)

(Gagging) Are you okay, girl?

(Loud mooing)

No, it's fine.

You are pregnant.

I'm not, And now stop saying that.

I can feel it.

In a few weeks, see it. the others too.

When was the last time you. your sputum?

I just ate something wrong.

(insistently quiet:) Maria.

Does he know yet?

Who? - Well, the father.

You mustn't tell your father.

He must stand by it,.

Isn't it the Werner?

(Thoughtful music)

For the love of God.

What have you done?

(Emotional music)

You say nothing to the father.

(Door slams shut.)

(Moving away steps)

This one shakes the plums.

Nix I got.

No bank, no company, No one wants to give me money.

First, everyone wanted the report card. of the mechanic's exam,

how I had it then ...

First, if I could offer the farm. as security.

I'm very sorry, my friend.

I have to go home.

It's a surprise. I brought Maria something nice.

When Maria is not at home, look at Werner.

With Werner?

There it often is.

(Rooster crows.)

I hope, you'll bring her to her senses.

(splash)

I've been thinking.

What if I really get married?

What do you mean now?

Ned really, I couldn't do that at all.

Just for appearances.

The Werner.

What about you and the Werner?

Mario said,. You're with him all the time.

Hannes and his buddies. beat him up.

I think that was because of me.

Now you want to marry him for that? - No.

He said. he would do me any favor.

I marry him. For the others and the father.

That's what he does ned.

I won't let you with the Werner.

We would have to tell him the truth. - From us?

What is wrong with you? - I trust him.

And he doesn't care about me.

Ned so.

Let's go away, Maria. Whole.

Canada. - Ah jo, Canada!

That won't work, you know that.

Besides that, we don't even know the language.

There's something else I need to tell you. I have to tell you. -Today never.

I need to think. - It's important.

Tell me tomorrow!

(Door slams shut on aisle.)

Good to have you back. - Have you seen Maria?

(Clang)

The Mary.

Did she say if she was getting married. wants to? And who? The Werner?

Spring on.

(hissing:) Mary must marry.

Maria doesn't have to do anything.

The money for the workshop. I'm already getting it.

Maybe Zeiserer will lend it to me. - Stay away from that. Stay away!

Stay away, both of you! Marry her.

The Werner!

I have to go to the Heiminger, ask for a postponement. - Gregor!

(dog barking)

You take the Maria.

What do you think they. get for a pile of money.

when a new state highway is built over which is built over their land.

You do as I say.

I'm not taking the Bankert from someone else.

The banker. you push to the side.

Look at the Göbbler.

Our tavern maid left it there, when she was chased away.

If I hadn't given him anything to eat, he would have died long ago.

I didn't know that.

I'll tell you ...

the Bankert is from the Werner.

He stands ned in our way.

But Maria, But she doesn't want me.

She should be happy, when someone takes her.

This is damaged goods.

We have to hurry up.

Time is money.

(Door closes.)

You don't, do you?

What's it to you?
